狗的叫聲和它們要表達的意思

Dogs make a lot of sounds. From howling and growling to whining and crying, a lot of different noises come out of those slobbery mouths.

狗會發(fā)出很多聲音。從嚎叫、咆哮到嗚咽和哭泣，這些流著口水的嘴巴里發(fā)出了許多不同的聲音。

Some dogs tend to be more talkative than others. VetStreet compiled a list of the chattiest dog breeds in a survey of more than 250 veterinary professionals. They found that beagles, Siberian huskies, Schnauzers, Chihuahuas and Yorkshire terriers tend to have the most to say. Other talkative breeds include Jack Russell terriers, basset hounds, German shepherds, dachshunds and, well, pretty much all terriers.

有些狗比其他狗更健談。維特斯里特對250多名獸醫(yī)進行了調查，列出了最健談的狗品種。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，小獵犬、西伯利亞哈士奇、雪納瑞、吉娃娃和約克夏梗狗最有發(fā)言權。其他會說話的品種包括杰克羅素梗、巴塞特獵犬、德國牧羊犬、臘腸犬，還有幾乎所有的梗類犬。

Some breeds also tend to have certain distinctive sounds, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC). Rottweilers "purr," Siberian Huskies "talk," Shiba Inus "scream" and Basenjis "yodel" instead of barking, the organization says.

根據(jù)美國養(yǎng)犬俱樂部(AKC)的說法，有些品種也有一些獨特的聲音。該組織稱，羅特韋爾犬(Rottweilers)會咕嚕咕嚕叫，西伯利亞哈士奇(Siberian Huskies)會說話，Shiba Inus會尖叫，Basenjis會叫yodel，而不是吠叫。

But in general, there are a handful of sounds most dogs make to communicate with other dogs and with people. This is how they vocalize their needs, frustrations, fears and pleasures.

但總的來說，大多數(shù)狗會發(fā)出一些聲音來與其他狗和人交流。這就是他們表達自己的需求、挫折、恐懼和快樂的方式。

Why do dogs bark? The answer obviously depends on the circumstances. Your dog could be alerting you to danger or just showing you how happy he is that you're home. A bark can indicate joy or fear, anger or awareness, frustration or need, according to the AKC. The key to understanding the bark is context and, of course, knowing your dog.

狗為什么會叫?答案顯然取決于具體情況。你的狗可能是在提醒你有危險，或者只是在向你展示你在家它是多么高興。根據(jù)AKC的說法，吠聲可以表示喜悅或恐懼、憤怒或意識、沮喪或需要。理解狗叫聲的關鍵是語境，當然，還要了解你的狗。

Barks sound different depending on their purpose and what triggers them.

吠聲聽起來不同，取決于它們的目的和觸發(fā)它們的原因。

A dog that is upset because of separation anxiety, for example, might have a high-pitched, repetitive bark that gets higher as the dog gets more anxious and upset, says Whole Dog Journal. Boredom barking, on the other hand, is more monotone and repetitive. An alert bark is usually sharp and staccato, while an alarm bark is similar with more intensity.

例如，《Whole dog Journal》說，一只因分離焦慮而心煩意亂的狗，可能會發(fā)出一種高音、重復的吠聲，隨著它變得更加焦慮和心煩意亂，吠聲也會越來越高。另一方面，無聊的吠叫更加單調和重復。警報吠聲通常是尖銳的、斷斷續(xù)續(xù)的，而提醒吠聲與之相似，而且強度更大。

When your dog wants something from you, her barks are sharp and continuous. Suspicious barking is typically slow and low. Fearful barking is also low, but it's usually faster. And as Whole Dog Journal points out, playful barking just sounds playful.

當你的狗想從你這里得到什么東西時，它會發(fā)出尖銳而連續(xù)的吠聲?？梢傻墓方新曂ǔ＞徛统痢？膳碌墓方新曇埠艿?，但通常更快。正如《Whole Dog Journal》所指出的，好玩的叫聲聽起來就是好玩。

Puppies make all sorts of dramatic groaning noises when they are settling down to nap, while older dogs may sign as they relax for their own naps. Those are good noises that make you maybe want to settle down and snuggle up with them too.

當小狗們安靜下來準備睡覺時，它們會發(fā)出各種各樣引人注目的呻吟聲，而年齡較大的狗狗則可能會在它們放松下來準備小睡時發(fā)出信號。這些都是好聲音，讓你可能想要安定下來，和它們依偎在一起。
